Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini has condemned the violation of human rights against immigrants by the Canadian police.
Hosseini condemned heinous acts of terror pointing to the murders of Iranian expatriate Keyvan Tabesh and the Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski.
He said this behaviour was an indication of organized actions by Canadian government bodies against immigrants, and were aimed at the spread of racism and xenophobia.
The foreign ministry spokesman called on the Canadian government for further investigation into the hostile conduct of the Canadian police urging it to adopt a transparent policy toward the issue of human rights.
The murder of Robert Dziekanski raised questions in Canada about the safety of Taser guns, which immobilize people with a 50,000-volt electrical charge.
Sixteen Canadians are reported to have died in the past five years in Taser incidents.
